We are going to present you three major cities from different corners of Croatia so you can see that Croatia has a lot more to offer then what first meets the eye. Croatia is a destination that you can visit during the whole year and not only by summer!

OPATIJA

Located on the eastern seaside of the Istrian Peninsula, beneath the mountain Učka lies the city of Opatija. Widely known as the center of the stunning Kvarner Riviera, Opatija has one of the longest standing traditions of tourism in Croatia. The mild Mediterranean climate mixed with a stunning natural landscape made it a perfect tourist attraction since the turn of the 19th century for elite tourism. Famous long coastal promenade Lungomare (10 km) filled with gardens and fountains made it a perfect tourist hot spot that fused tradition and high-quality service. The hotels and resorts in Opatija offer everything you need for your holiday.

Opatija being top wellness and congress destination in Croatia combined with its surroundings makes it a very attractive tourist resort at any time of the year.

ZAGREB

The capital of Croatia, often forgotten destination by the tourists who are more likely to visit the famous Adriatic Coast is a real gem of history and culture. Called by many a city of museums, in recent years Zagreb has made a lot of strides to establish itself to become one of the most popular Central European cities to visit! The city is divided in three main sections: Novi Zagreb ( New Zagreb) which followed the expansion and increase of the population opening many residential buildings, Gornji Grad ( Upper Town ) the historic part of the city containing many of the iconic buildings which tell a story with picturesque architecture presented also by many museums and art galleries , Donji Grad ( Lower Town ) scattered by shops , restaurants and parks represents a perfect retreat for leisure time for both locals and tourists alike.

The beauty of our capital city is that Zagreb is perfect place to visit at any time of the year. In the winter during the famous Advent Festival across the vibrant streets of Zagreb that lead to the heart of the city on the Ban Jelacic Square, you can enjoy perfect Christmas Holidays. In the autumn you can stroll around tree lined Strossmayer Promenade and visit medieval Stone Gates. During the summer you can enjoy beautiful walks across the famous Jarun and take part in many festivals across the city.
